The novel then takes a wider point of view in the second half to focus on the march and memorial service with a resounding and spiritual message of peace. This is a powerful testament to the ongoing struggles for justice, and a moving and hopeful tribute to the many victims of racist violence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $a Gift from the estate of John "Jack" Petsche. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Milwaukee $z Milwaukee $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Police brutality $z Milwaukee $z Milwaukee $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Milwaukee (Wis.) $x Race relations $v Fiction. 700 1 $a De Jager, Marjolijn, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1B4A11DEE1C911EE94D662C22BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
